3 very winable games this week. They better go no worse than 2-1!

Yeah, they've been playing well as of late. We lost 2 to the Blackhawks last week, but I still consider the Blackhawks to be the best team in the NHL so I'm not too upset about that.

They did salvage a point out of the first Blackhawks game. I'd be satisfied with 2-1 but I'd really like to see 3-0 and see them start stacking wins. The need to to do that IMO to get back in the playoff hunt.

That was disappointing. Sort of reminded me of last week's game against the Blackhawks, but it was against the Hurricanes so losing is unacceptable.

On a positive note, Sid has been freakin awesome as of late, like 2010 Sid awesome. Props to him for turning his game around in a big way

At least they got 1 point but you're right, against the Hurricanes they should've got 2.

Rust has played a really outstanding game tonight. That dude can fly.

Here's the mantra...At least they got one point. So disappointing...

Over under, the Pens make the playoffs?

I say under

Bad game by MAF, that goal he gave up to Strahlman was inexcusable.

A lot went wrong on that play. Kunitz failed on a risky clear, Lovejoy went down and didn't take away the center of the ice, and Fleury didn't get as big in the net as he probably should have on a turning backhand.

Probably the best game the Pens have had this season. We're slowly but surely finding our game. Just need to be more consistent and get better in overtime. At least we got our offensive spark back.

^ Yesterday they finally showed they had way more talent than the Canes. Lets hope they keep it going.
